If you could only solve one of these problems, and you could solve it TODAY, which would it be?

One of the things that drives me crazy is when someone emails me from a business domain, then I check their website, and it's not set up at all. It's a bad look. Even having a simple one-pager (which you can set up in an hour or two) is better than showing potential clients, partners or students an error page. Anyone here sending emails from a ghost domain? How come?

It's everyone's favorite holiday--US Tax Day! For my biggest business expense? I was about to put "ads," but then I remembered it's not an expense...because they pay for themselves. Second biggest? I think it's a tie between BerserkerMail and Manus. Again, are these really "expenses" if I can't run my business without them? 🤔 Literally can't send emails without BerserkerMail...and Manus does so many things I can't even list them all. Look at this one-page website it built to help me study tourist Japanese for our trip in May: Learn Japanese with Nick-sama What's that one big biz expense you just can't quit?

Welcome to the inaugural post of Funny Money. What lies before us is a barren plot of land, but with diligent cultivation and a complete disregard for social norms, we shall shape this wasteland into a land of plenty. Let's keep this first one simple... What's currently the LEAST FUN aspect of your biz? None of these hit the mark? Drop a comment below and tell me what's got you down.

The auction has ended! Congratulations to @Gasper Crepinsek for taking home my very own "Upwork Retirement Proposal" and a big stack of bonuses for the very nice sum of 35,000 pennies! JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, HERE'S WHAT WENT DOWN... Get the exact Upwork proposal template I used to land $159,000 in low-stress retainers while I work 15-hour weeks and travel the world. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ I don't freelance on Upwork anymore. Not because it stopped working. Because ONE proposal template worked so well it retired me. 👉 $159,000 in contracts. 👉 Clients who hired me over 50+ other applicants. 👉 Clients who APOLOGIZED for wasting my time when they couldn't afford me. 👉 $12k retainers from people who'd never met me. Now, I hire people to push the buttons while I look at graphs and tell jokes on Zoom calls. In May, when we go to Japan for 2.5 weeks, other people will keep my machine running while I eat raw fish next to Mt. Fuji. All from Upwork clients. The place everyone says has zero high-paying clients. 🙄 Here’s what we’re gonna do. Grab a walker. Amble on over to the cafeteria and snag a cup of prune juice. Then meet me in the day room and let’s reminisce about the good ol’ days when Upwork was still Elance… 🎉🎉 Welcome to the Upwork Retirement Auction! 🎉🎉 Winner gets the Upwork proposal template that retired me from Upwork—plus, I’ll show you how to “reverse engineer” it for any job your heart desires. Bids start at one cent. Bids can only go UP by one cent. AND... EVERYONE who bids at least one penny in the auction gets a free bonus: The Profile Rescue Kit, which'll fix everything wrong with your profile (that clients actually care about) so you can stop obsessing over which angle to take your next headshot pic. 🤯 But wait, there's more...lol. 🤯 IF... If we get a ton of action on the auction, we'll unlock truckloads of additional hot bonuses for you to stuff in your pockets. One more thing: You're getting the exact proposal structure that pulled six figures out of a platform I no longer compete on.
